The game Thursday between the MARI
boros and the home team was one of the
finest ever played in the city, the visitors
being defeated 4 to 3. The attendance was
small, owing to the storm which had been
threatening all the afternoon, but the rain
soon passed over and although the ground
was covered with water yet in few min
utes it was in splendid condition with the
exception of few spots in the outtield
and along the line from first to second
The Marlboros are a fine club ana they
play ball, " but Lasch proved too much for
them and they were unable to pound him
at all, obtaining but five hits while the
home team pounded keefe for u singles
and Il double. The visitors, however.
played ball and if the Montpelers and St
Adams think an easy victory lies before
them, they may disabuse themselves of
that opinion at once. keefe is 4 fine
pitcher and was well supported by Jan
drOn.
The Burlingtons went to bat first. Ed
munds reached first on error of short, but
was caught off at second. Minehan got his
base on an other error but was caught at
second on &earney'S forced hit who stole
second, reached third on McGuirk's
hit and scored on Linehau's single, Nc
Guirk being caught at the plate. Baker
for the visitors got a single and scored on
4 wild throw to third.

fifth Edmunds reached first on grounder
to centre, and scored on McGulrk's single
In the sixth kittridge struck out, Lasche
took his base on balls, Edmunds lied out
to right and Minehan followed with a
beautiful double to left. Kearney made
fine hit to centre and Lasche and Minehan
scored. The remainder of the game did

down anything in the Green Mountain
State, but they were very much mistaken.

clubs and who saw Wednesdays game

Keefe throws a very swift ball, has some
hard curves. and unless you thoroughly
understand him it is impossible to hold
him. This was the first time Jandron

order, in the fifth the BurlingtOns made
one and in the sixth each side worked in
four runs, when the game was stopped to

run into by Arson, receiving sprained
knee which retired him from the field
and his place was taken by Linehan.

a strong team. The home team did good
work, making but three errors. Follow

my cross patiently for long while. but
had my revenge the other evening.
Il had Just taken my seat in the thea

lady sank into the seat directly i'll front

view of the stage. and | tried to look
around the edges of the article when |
discovered that directly in front of the
lady III front of me was another hat
even larger than hers. and | soon saw
that she could see no more than l could
This made me very happy and my JOY
was intensified by the discovery that a
third hat blocked the view of the second
lady.
Then | arose and took a position in
the lobby, and for the rest of the even

ladies' to get view of the stage. The
heads kept bObbing around in the same

She had been, as it were, twixt the fire and

She had talked TO him kindly firmly severely.
And to tell the sad tru tn. She still loved him

But dearer by far was her love for her
